Novel Full Chapter 561 Hostile Lunirich
“Adhara, come here for a second”, Rex said while still looking at Delta.
True enough when Adhara approaches them, Delta tries to mirror where Adhara is to make Rex exactly between the both of them. It’s quite surprising to see that Delta is actually scared of Adhara.
Upon looking at Delta’s weird behavior, Adhara frowns, “What’s wrong with her?”
“I think she’s afraid of you, maybe because of your new bloodline. Because of that she refused to go inside the mansion and stayed outside alone”, Rex replied while shaking his head. Adhara is the second or third closest person to Delta, so it’s quite weird seeing her like this.
Widening her eyes in surprise, Adhara glances at the hiding Delta on Rex’s back.
Despite trying to hide behind Rex in order to avoid meeting Adhara’s gaze, Delta’s body is too big that even her head can’t be fully covered by Rex’s figure. It’s quite funny for the Awakened Guard to see this.
“No, it can’t be… Delta, it’s okay I’m still the same person”, Adhara stretches her hand at Delta.
But instantly after that Delta leaped away, jumping over the entire mansion before landing in the back garden which makes Adhara’s expression stiffen. She can’t deny it now, Delta is afraid of her.
Evelyn and Gistella approach her from behind, and a light chuckle escapes Evelyn’s mouth.
“Maybe she can smell your period, Adhara. I know that wolves have keen sense”
“I’m not on my period! Stop mocking me or I’ll make bleed”
Hearing their quarrels Rex sighs before he takes some things from the inventory, “Alright, knock it off. Keep your focus because I don’t want you to be captured by the Demons, that’s just going to be another problem for me”
Out of nowhere, Rex tossed Evelyn and Gistella a weapon.
The two of them look at the weapon in their hands and feel the radiating energy from them.
Just from looking at the weapon alone, they knew that these weapons are way stronger than the current one that they were wielding. In fact, they were absolutely right because those weapons are all eight-rank battle equipment.
Evelyn received an eighth-rank sword called Resonateshadow.
<Resonate Shadow>
A sword made using an eighth-rank Haunting Hardbone as its core material overlays the sharp edge with the Insidious Razor Mantis’ raptorial legs. It has the ability to create a Shadow Sound upon clashing that directly resounded in the opponent’s mind that can hinder their thought processes.
Rex chooses this sword simply because Evelyn is also a Sound Elementalist.
Even though the Shadow Sound is in theory, not a tangible sound, it’s still a form of sound and can be utilized heavily by Evelyn. Making it even louder is one way to harness this power and will make Evelyn a nightmare for those that don’t have a strong mind.
Meanwhile, Gistella is also given another small shield to replace her previous one.
<Nether Warshield>
Forged and made with materials from the Netherworld, the Nether Warshield is eighth-rank battle equipment that will become stronger the more death energy and deaths around the wearer. It has the ability to not only block physical attacks but also mind attacks.
Since the Nether Warshield comes from the Netherworld, it matches with Gistella’s black heart.
With the fight they had and the problems following them, there’s no more reason for Rex to save the gold in his pocket for the sake of saving it for the right moment. Because of that, he spent most of his gold in the last few days.
Both of them should be able to wound even an eighth-rank Supernatural with those weapons.
“Rex… are you forgetting something? Why didn’t I get anything?”, Adhara suddenly mutters in disbelief finding that she was the one left out, Evelyn and Gistella got something from Rex and she doesn’t.
Upon seeing the gloomy expression on Adhara’s face, Rex chuckled before he approached her.
“Duality Daggers of Bifrons are still a good match for you, I’ll just need to enhance its power. Give them to me”, Rex said before Adhara handed over the Duality Daggers in her hands.
With a subtle glow, two runes were engraved on each dagger.
Adhara can feel the changes on the daggers instantly just from looking at them, the daggers definitely got way stronger compared to what it was. And when she holds the daggers, it has become heavier and more compact.
“Now all of you would be able to hurt an eighth-rank Supernatural, but still, be careful”
Nodding their heads in confirmation, Rex then takes out a couple of crystals before he gives them to them. Just like they had already planned, Rex will be going with Flunra so they will separate.
But with the telepathy between them, communication will not be a problem.
“We should be the ones telling you to be careful, you’re venturing into the Supernatural territory after all…”, Evelyn said while looking at Rex with both hands on her waist, she clearly knows that Rex is exposed to more danger in this.
Going inside the Supernatural Territory while having ninth-rank power, he’s surely eye-catching.
To the surprise of the others, Gistella also nodded her head expressing her agreement with Evelyn, “Please be careful, Werewolf territory is the second-hardest territory to infiltrate just below Undead”
Upon hearing this, Rex glances at Flunra and finds him nodding his head.
‘I thought Demons would be the hardest to infiltrate, but thinking back Undead has myriads of trap spells and Werewolf has the keenest sense out of all races. Guess I need to really be cautious…’
Rex glances back at Gistella before he nodded his head.
Finishing their parting farewell, Adhara and the others then disappeared from the place.
They would be meeting up with Liliya’s group to search for the Shapeshifter, his illusion has the same personality and even can act on its own so Rex is not bothered, ‘Just leave it to the other me…’, he thought.
After the others are gone, Rex glances at Tandu before nodding his head firmly.
With that out of the way, he and Flunra too disappeared from the place leaving the mansion under the tranquility of the night once again. But Tandu immediately commanded, “Keep your eyes wide open people! Rex is out so we need to make sure nothing happened until he’s back”
“Even if it costs us our lives, we will guarantee the mansions’ safety!”
~
Rex and Flunra reappeared somewhere near the fallen Vampire Stronghold.
Putting their senses to the absolute limit, both of them look around with their sharp eyes trying to sense if there is someone in this area. Since the Vampire Stronghold has been reclaimed, there should be many Awakened here.
“If there’s any Awakened, we will try and avoid them”, Rex mutters while still looking around.
Upon saying that Rex takes out his new enhanced Amuerus Katana which is thicker and heavier than before, the eight glowing red runes engraved on it please the eyes and even surprised Flunra.
With the strength emanating from the katana, it’s clear that it’s a ninth-rank weapon.
Even the old Werewolf can’t help but marvels at the weapon, he was not expecting such a caliber of weapon to exist in this dark era other than Origin’s Weapon. But then again everything about his new Alpha is very weird and mysterious.
“Did you hear me? We will avoid any Awakened we see”, Rex said again but this time warningly.
Snapping out of his daze Flunra nodded his head in understanding, he was too busy marveling at the katana and didn’t hear what Rex said. But since Rex is not trusting Flunra yet, he instills a command using his Alpha aura.
Flunra can feel this and the restraint inside his mind was made, no killing Awakened.
After doing that they both started to move toward the Great Barricade, they are going to go to the same hole where they used to go to the Supernatural territory. No other path aside from that.
It didn’t take that long with their speed to reach where the hole should be.
But both of them stopped mid-track when they saw the hole is not there, it seems the hole has already been spotted and patched up by the Awakened. Since the Vampire Stronghold has been reclaimed, this much is expected.
Rex feels conflicted with this, on one side he’s glad but on the other side, he’s not.
Without the hole on the Great Barricade then he will have no other way to go to the Supernatural territory, he can’t just jump over it with many war gear and surely cameras on top. Rex ponders for a moment but then his body stiffens.
Flunra also sensed the same thing as Rex as they both put their backs against the wall.
‘I forgot! Lady Giana should be here!’
Just as he was about to think of a solution, Rex suddenly felt powerful energy sweeping the entire place, a power equivalent to a ninth-rank Awakened so he quickly went against the wall and use the Astral Blanket to cover the both of them.
Even with the Astral Blanket, Rex worries that he might be spotted.
So without pausing he closed his eyes and suppressed his leaking energy back into his body, condensing all of them inside. Flunra also did the same, he doesn’t need Rex to tell him what to do.
After suppressing his entire energy which he finds very hard, Rex opens his eyes.
Looking over to the side he saw Flunra’s entire aura completely gone, Rex was surprised when he saw this, ‘I have very high control of mana but since I just reached the ninth-rank realm, it’s very hard for me to control it. But Flunra did it so casually, how did he do that?’
Unlike Rex that is still leaking energy despite trying to suppress it, Flunra doesn’t.
Not one leakage of energy can be seen throughout his entire body, it was so perfect that even Rex can’t help but acknowledge that even if he’s still in the seventh rank realm he can’t be as perfect as Flunra.
Without the Astral Blanket, Flunra definitely can avoid the ninth-rank Awakened’s energy sense.
It’s quite terrifying to a degree, but at least now Rex knows.
“We’re clear… I don’t think she managed to scan us”, Flunra said lightly.
Rex nodded his head as he too finds the sweeping energy vanished, but looking at the mana in the surrounding he can’t help but frown, ‘Wait, that energy doesn’t contain water mana or lightning mana. Is it not Lady Giana…?’
Since he had met with Lady Giana a couple of times, he already knows Lady Giana’s elements.
But the energy that swept the entire place and is coming from the Vampire Stronghold doesn’t contain water or lightning mana, so in that sense, it should be another ninth-rank Awakened.
‘Are there two ninth-rank Awakened in the Vampire Stronghold? No… that can’t be right’
Putting his senses to his max Rex managed to decipher the people inside the Vampire Stronghold despite being miles away from them, his senses went up a notch because of the King Mark that he now possessed.
From just the auras of the Awakened inside the Vampire Stronghold, Rex finds only one-ninth rank.
‘It’s not Lady Giana, but then where is Lady Giana? I was told that she was sent here to guard the Vampire Stronghold…’, Rex thought with a frown, he felt skeptical but he decided to focus on the task at hand first.
Looking back to the wall, Rex thought of a solution, “I can just rip the dimension here”
“But if I do that then I’ll need to activate my King Mark, the ninth rank Awakened would definitely sense that coming from me”, he added while rubbing his chin in search of a solution.
Out of nowhere, Flunra suddenly said, “If I may help, can I have your blood?”
“Hmm? My blood?”, Rex frowned in confusion but knowing that Flunra can create runes from the use of blood he decided to comply. If Flunra had any malice for him then the system should alert him, so there’s no reason for him to decline this.
Grabbing the sharp side of the Amuerus Katana, Rex cuts the palm of his hand.
Since the Amuerus Katana has been enhanced with the runes it cuts through his palm rather easily, blood started to drip down to the ground before he squeezed his palm to pour the blood onto Flunra’s hands.
After doing that, Flunra dips his fingers in the blood before reaching for Rex’s face.
Despite his hesitation, Rex decided to comply and lets Flunra draws what he thought to be an ancient rune on his face, and it didn’t take long before Flunra retracts back his fingers away.
“What’s this?”
Following Flunra’s instruction, Rex activates his King mark.
King Mark appears on his forehead amplifying his entire body with purple energy, but it spans only for a moment before the drawings on his face glow brightly and sealed the rampaging King Mark energy.
It feels warm on his face, and after being sealed the purple energy becomes very light.
Although it was sealed Rex can still feel his power is still the same, only the energy is being sealed, ‘So back then they use this to hide the Prince without hindering the Prince’s power, just how does the fight back then even look like…’
Shaking his head, Rex then faces the Great Barricade before creating a portal there.
Slash!
With the dimension ripped open by Rex’s claws, the black portal appeared and the both of them went inside the black portal without saying anything. In another moment, both of them crawl out of the black portal and finds themselves in the forest.
Upon walking out, Flunra falls down to the ground panting for air.
Rex ignored him for a moment before looking back, he finds the Great Barricade is now on his back.
Now they are definitely inside the Supernatural territory, it’s quite a hassle since creating the black portal takes a huge chunk of his energy but then again there’s no other choice.
“What happened to you?”, Rex asks while looking at Flunra on the ground.
Although the dimension of black is quite eerie, it shouldn’t take this much effect on Flunra.
“I think that portal of yours is not suitable for me…”
“And why is that?”
While still panting, Flunra raises his gaze to meet with Rex, “It seems there’s a hostile Lunirich that doesn’t want me to be there…”
“What…?!”
